目的:采用蛋白质组学技术,建立安静和递增运动负荷训练后力竭大鼠心室肌蛋白质组的差异性表达谱,初步筛选出心室肌对力竭运动产生反应的目标蛋白质。方法:实验于2007-03在湖南师范大学生命科学学院蛋白质化学与蛋白质组学国家教育部重点实验室和省级运动人体科学实验室完成。①实验分组:10只SD雄性大鼠随机分为对照组和运动组,每组5只。②实验方法:运动组经过7周的大强度递增运动负荷训练后(最后一次力竭),对两组心室肌组织的全蛋白进行双向凝胶电泳分离。结果:经图像分析,在运动组的电泳图谱上共展现蛋白质点(338±17)个,对照组展现蛋白质点(352±17)个。运动后差异表达的蛋白质点共有99个。对其中差异表达的9个蛋白质点进行质谱鉴定,共鉴定出7个蛋白质,Stress-70protein,NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase Mr75000subnunit,Long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase,Tropomyosin-1alphachain在运动后"缺失",Nitrilase family,member2在运动后表达上调在5倍以上,一个相对分子质量为21000的未知蛋白在运动后表达下调在5倍以上,另外有两个点经鉴定均为Myosin-6,在运动后表达量相反。这些蛋白质属于收缩蛋白、能量代谢酶、分子伴侣等。结论:递增运动负荷训练后力竭时,大鼠心室肌蛋白质组明显地发生了反应。运动后"缺失"和下调的蛋白质点与心肌收缩的调控和能量代谢的方式转变以及细胞的应激反应有关,其中,成功筛选出6种在运动医学领域尚未涉足的、具有运动应激特点的目标蛋白质。     

Occurrence of the t(2;5)(p23;q35) in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Primary CD30(Ki-1)-positive anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is considered by some to be a distinct clinicopathologic entity associated with the t(2;5) (p23;q35). However, the specificity of t(2;5) for ALCL has not been carefully studied. Therefore, we performed a detailed analysis of all cases of ALCL with abnormal cytogenetics results in the Nebraska Lymphoma Study Group registry, as well as all other cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with t(2;5) in the registry. We found the t(2;5) in only five of 10 cases of ALCL, four of whom were young patients. However, we also found the t(2;5) in 11 other cases of nonanaplastic lymphoma, including eight children with typical peripheral T-cell lymphomas of various types. The t(2;5) was also found in three older adults with B-cell lymphomas of various types. Thus, the t(2;5) was not specific for CD30+ ALCL. However, t(2;5) may define a clinicopathologic entity in children and young adults characterized by variable morphologies with a T-cell or indeterminate phenotype, CD30-positivity, nodal disease with frequent extranodal involvement, advanced stage, and an excellent response to therapy, including bone marrow transplantation for relapsed disease. The clinical relevance of the t(2;5) in older patients requires further study.     

Bradycardia and Syncope in Children Not Controlled by Pacing: Beta-Adrenergic Hypersensitivity

Cardiac pacing is frequently employed in the therapy of children with syncope and documented bradycardia. This report describes two children, ages 7 and 9 years, who underwent placement of demand ventricular pacing systems for documented bradycardia and syncope. Cardiac catheterization and intracardiac electrophysiological studies failed to show evidence of structural abnormalities, sinus node or conduction system disease, inducible arrhythmias, or VA conduction in each patient. Both patients had persistent symptoms after pacemaker implantation. Autonomic function testing with continuous heart rate and blood pressure monitoring revealed exaggerated beta-adrenergic responses to simple standing and small doses of isoproterenol. Symptoms were completely eliminated with atenolol. In these two children, cardiac pacing alone was not adequate for relief of symptoms. Autonomic mechanisms of bradycardia and hypotension should be considered prior to implantation of permanent pacing systems in children.     

Characteristics of human large granular lymphocytes and relationship to natural killer and K cells

Recent evidence, has demonstrated an association between a subpopulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, morphologically identified as large granular lymphocytes (LGL), and natural killer (NK) activity. We have now evaluated more directly the role of LGL in both NK activity and antibody- dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), by using highly enriched populations of LGL, obtained by centrifugation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells on Percoll discontinuous density gradients. Both spontaneous and interferon- augmented NK and ADCC activities were exclusively associated with the LGL- enriched, low density fractions. The majority of LGL formed conjugates with NK-susceptible and antibody-coated target cells. Approximately 20 percent of small conventional lymphocytes also formed conjugates with the target cells for NK, but this was not associated with cytotoxic activity. Virtually all LGL were found to have receptors for the Fc portion of IgG (FcγR). The frequency of LGL among blood leukocytes was 2-6 percent. LGL could be enriched to an average purity of 95 percent by combining discontinuous density gradient centrifugation with subsequent adsorptions of the low density fractions on monolayers of immobilized immune complexes. About 50 percent of LGL were found to be FcγR-bearing T cells (T(G)), forming low affinity rosettes with sheep erythrocytes at 4 degrees C. Only 10-20 percent of LGL formed high affinity rosettes with sheep erythrocytes at 29 degrees C. LGL could be enriched to a purity of more than 90 percent by depleting high affinity rosette-forming cells from low density Percoll fractions. LGL were only a subpopulation of T(G) cells, because some lymphocytes with conventional morphology also adhered to the immobilized immune complex monolayers and formed high affinity rosettes with sheep erythrocytes. Separation of these cells from LGL by discontinuous density gradient centrifugation indicated that they are not cytotoxic, suggesting a morphological and functional subdivision of T(G) cells. The verification in this study that virtually all human NK and K cells have a characteristic morphology adds a useful parameter to the monitoring of human lymphocytes, and the ability to purify these cells by simple physical procedures should be invaluable in their further characterization.

造血干细胞移植与临床感染的防治

学术背景:造血干细胞移植技术在临床上已得到广泛应用,移植后感染是关系到移植成败的重要因素。目的:探讨造血干细胞移植后各阶段的感染的特点、预防及治疗,以进一步减低造血干细胞移植后感染的发生率及死亡率。检索策略:由作者应用计算机检Medline 1994-01/2007-05关于造血干细胞移植及移植后感染的文章,检索词为"hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,infection",限定语言种类为"English";同时检索中国期刊全文数据库1994-01/2007-05相关文章,检索词"造血干细胞移植,感染,防治",限定语言种类为中文。纳入标准:随机对照研究;实验或临床研究包含平行对照组。排除标准:重复性研究文献评价:初检得到212篇文献,初审后选取与造血干细胞移植后感染有关的文章126篇,删除明显无关及相关性不强的文章,进一步查找全文,29个实验符合标准,予以纳入。29个研究包括324例患者和140个实验动物,分别阐述了造血干细胞移植后感染的原因、途径、特点、种类及各种感染的预防及治疗措施。资料综合:造血干细胞移植后感染发病隐匿,由于患者免疫力低下,感染不易控制,在不同阶段致病菌的种类有所不同,细菌感染普遍,在移植后各个时期均可出现,真菌感染和病毒感染致死性强,故预防和治疗感染至关重要,其治疗分为预防治疗、抢先治疗、经验性治疗和针对治疗。结论:造血干细胞移植后感染的治疗已成为影响移植疗效的一个重要原因,及早的诊断及正确的治疗将成为移植后感染治疗成功的关键。
